Share your expereince on Enhancement Package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (any -ve Impact)

Dear SEM Professionals,

Seeking your advice to share your expereince from other projects, if you have observed any -ve impact (technical or functional) from the following upgrade package in SEM (Strategic Enterprise Management Software). We are planning to upgrade our SEM system to EHP 5. I have provided the current and new version details in tables below.

Objective of this upgrade is to improve performance of PDCE (Moving to parallel calculation of Cost Estimate), however, since recently we had performance issues from Oracle and Kernel upgrade, hence we would like to know, if any project has seen -ve impact, which we need to be aware in advance.

Thanks a bunch in advance for sharing your experience.
